AVILA BEACH, Calif. – (October 24, 2017) – The VIP Ride & Wine Event presented by VisitAvilaBeach.com, set for Saturday, October 28, features cycling legend Bob “Bobke” Roll, author, Tour de France & Tour of California commentator and former professional cyclist. This unique event, produced by Race SLO, California Central Coast’s leading endurance sports event company, offers a scenic 40 mile bike ride followed by engaging conversation over craft beverages and food with Roll and a dozen other professional U.S. cyclists.

“This VIP Ride & Wine event, limited to 150 people, promises to truly be one-of-a-kind. Our guest riders not only will experience a tour of the best wine country roadways and views but also the opportunity to spin, connect and share stories with world class cyclists, led by three-time returning event ambassador Bob Roll, and followed by an unmatched post-ride gathering,” said Samantha Pruitt, Race SLO Founder & CEO.

“I’ve ridden all over the world, but having the opportunity to join Race SLO’s riding community on the Central Coast in the beautiful Avila Beach area will be a special treat,” commented Roll. “In addition to the non-competitive group ride, I can’t wait to return with a few new stories to share over a glass of Sinor-LaVallee wine and delicious Central Coast food!”

The non-timed ride with three pace groups (easy, moderate or fast) will take 2 to 3 hours and starts at 7:30am sharp at the Avila Beach Pier Boardwalk. The 40 mile social ride will go through the famed Edna Valley wine country towards Pismo Beach and then back to Avila Beach for the fun post-ride gathering with Roll and the pro panel over Sinor-LaVallee wine, Lagunitas beer and Rib Line hot food. Attendees will also receive course support, lead escorts, goody bags, Pro autographed poster, free bike valet, recovery massage and priceless memories.
